Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Manghir coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of the Beylik of Menteshe, which was a Turkic tribal confederation that existed in the 14th century in Anatolia, modern-day Turkey. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, featuring Islamic motifs and Arabic script. Despite its small weight and value, the Manghir coin played an important role in the economy and trade of the region, facilitating transactions and exchange of goods among merchants, traders, and the general population.
